Exclamation Holy Spider Batman!

I have these freakin huge brown spiders in my truck. Started off just in the bed. I didn't really care that much, but now they're in the cab. I hate spiders. Its all I can do not to freak and try to calmly kill the thing when I see them. I thought it was just one or two in the cab but they're everywhere. Mostly in the paneling where the handles are for the driver/passenger. Scared the heck of me tonight when it crawled out when I was driving. If they're around any longer I might as well start naming them lol. How do I safely get rid of them? Bomb it? Raid? Run a pipe from the exhaust into the cab and shut the door? with me on the outside of course.... Any ideas? I dread the thought of even getting in my truck now. I hate spiders.

I hate spiders also. My shop was infested with Brown Widows earlier this year .. Still freaks me out. I can see them in the rafters still..

I would take the door panels off and suck them out with a shop vac.

I had an infestation of spiders in my 88 Bronco II and I bombed the **** out of them.

Like you I hate spiders and dreaded getting in my vehicle.

I did not really care about that car and I would be very cautious of bombing my 150

Some things I learned was that it shoots up to the headliner so make sure you cover the top of the bomb I would put it in a box and put holes on the side so the smoke can get let out. Do not put holes on the top of course because then it will shoot out.

Also learned that it will stick to all the webs in your car and freak you out even more lol they are everywhere!!

Good luck and be strong hahaha

Nope. Brown widows are nasty, and much harder to identify than Black Widows.

Black widow:




Brown widow.
